Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. Vehicles come in all sorts of shapes styles and powers, and reflect the way you live your life, but a trip to the garage is expensive no matter what.
Unfortunately, garages have developed a terrible reputation for overcharging, so we have provided a directory of all the local garages in your area to let you browse around and choose the best one for your needs.
MOT time is always a worry if you have your local garage take a look at your car first and carry out any repairs they think need to be done for you to pass your test. You could consider having a garage that both tests and repairs cars to do the MOT. The pitfalls of doing the second option is that you are wholly and completely reliant on the honesty of the garage not to say the car needs more work than it actually does.
Brakes and tyre treads are often reasons for failing tests, and these can often be repaired more cheaply at specialist garages that buy components in bulk.
Look out for local government MOT centres, these are impartial and will help keep the bills down whilst ensuring that your car is safe and sound on the roads. Dealerships provide an excellent service as they will have expert knowledge of your particular make of car, but they are generally the most expensive repair option.
Keep the value of your car up by giving it a regular service. Timing belts should be changed between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. Think about your timing belt, this needs to be checked and changed because if the timing belt breaks then it will cause a lot of damage to your engine. An oil change for your car is as good as a major overhaul. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
